Director of E-Commerce & Digital Experience

Sans is on a mission to build the next great consumer hardware brand, with a laser focus on products that help people live healthier lives at home. We started with a category-leading air purifier before expanding to a best-in-class countertop water purifier that actually works to eliminate harmful contaminants – and our product roadmap is just getting started.

We’re a small, ambitious team that believes deeply in our ability to create a meaningful consumer brand. We move fast, learn quickly, and consistently outperform much larger competitors.

The Director of Ecommerce will own Sans’ digital customer experience end-to-end: how customers discover, evaluate, buy, and stay with Sans. You will set the ecommerce vision and roadmap, lead conversion and customer journey strategy, and run the day-to-day execution that turns ideas into shipped improvements. This includes owning the website as a product, building a disciplined testing and optimization program, and defining our mobile app strategy as a retention channel. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the CMO, with direct influence across Creative, Growth, Lifecycle, and CX, plus agency and development partners.

The ideal candidate will be data-driven and analytical, able to translate customer insights into digital product decisions, strong PM and requirement definition skills, and have a passion for and experience in ecommerce or product management. They should be highly collaborative and excited to toggle between high-level strategy and detailed execution.
